stresses are easily determined by traditional strength of materials equations,continuum mechanics or by finite element analysis. The second type of mechanical stress thatoccurs in materials is classified as residual stresses. These are the stresses that remain in thematerial after all the applied loads are removed.Mechanical engineering and engineering technology students have a difficult time understandingthe generation of residual stresses, measuring them and their overall effect on design life.Residual stresses typically come from non-uniform plastic flow due to some previous loading ormanufacturing process. Some of these processes are but not limited to casting, machining,welding, grinding, shot peening, quenching, nonuniform cold working such

This effort is a component of a funded College Cost Reduction andAccess Act (CCRAA) grant from the Department of Education, and focuses on student retentionand development of adaptive expertise. Studies have shown that minority science, technology,engineering, and math (STEM) students leave STEM undergraduate fields in part due to lack ofreal world connections to their classroom learning experiences. Furthermore, in STEM fields theconventional approach is to teach for efficiency first and for innovation only in the latter years ofthe curriculum. This focus on efficiency first can actually stifle attempts at innovation in latercourses. Our response to these issues is to change the way we teach. CBI, a form

hours in mechanics ofmaterial course are allocated to a traditional in-class lecture with limited numbers of laboratoryexperiment. Due to the limitation of budget, space, and time, even laboratory experiments areoften limited to a simple testing, such as tension or torsion tests conducted on samples withsimple shapes.With the advancement of computation technology, instructors of engineering courses canimplement low-cost and quick hands-on experience by using a numerical simulation methodsuch as Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Today, many commercial FEA software are availableand used in the education of mechanics of material course3,4.
